What is expensive but worth every penny?

[Teadrinker11]

Following on from the previous thread about expensive purchases that weren't worth it, what is expensive but actually is worth it? What do you own or have done that is very expensive but you don't regret it at all?

Naturli vegan butter rather than flora

My Cross fountain pen. It was about £80 but I now won't write with any other pen.

Didriksons waterproof coat. Because it is actually waterproof!

hot smoked salmon from lidl. looks/tastes like poached salmon. and ready to eat. with lemon flavour. very nice.

Was (way) over our original budget for a mattress but SO glad we invested! 8 years in and still perfect. When it’s time for a new one I will absolutely get another ViSpring 👍

My tattoo's.... Best value for money ever! Be with me until I die! (and yes...... I love them and dont give a shit what people will think when I'm wrinkled with them!.... Every single one has its own personal meaning.... For me! Nobody else! ) 👌👌👌

Getting my hair done every 4 weeks.

My hairdresser is cheaper than some I read about, but it still feels extravagant for me.

Yarn. Wool, merino, silk, whatever natural fibre blend it is always worth spending a bit more on something that feels amazing.

Art supplies. There’s a world of difference between the pigment in student quality and artists/professional quality paint, pencils etc.

Paper.

Shoes and boots.

Every other consumable a budget or lower cost item you can get away with without noticing much of a difference.

Our honeymoon which somehow cost about the same as the wedding 😳
Absolutely worth every penny and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Not exactly bought but my newborn baby. Expensive but cannot imagine life without her now. I havent once gulped at spending money on things for her whereas i would do for anything else!

Laura Mercier body soufflé, smells like I imagine heaven would.

Dog.
Warm winter coat.
